How to play it

✓ DO

Don't fight her 1v1

If she catches you with her W in a solo fight the trade is lost — never commit 1v1 without a gank.

Play for ganks

Farm or roam and play for ganks — a gank is your kill window, a straight 1v1 isn't.

Rush Mercs

Rush Mercury's Treads for the magic resist and tenacity into her.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never get baited into a 1v1 — you're not favoured, so farm and wait for your jungler.
